As stated in my article on why do you still have an iphone, if there exists an open alternative that competes (or is on it's way to being competitive), I will almost always choose the open counterpart. So I'll still use closed source software (there has yet to be a game console that truly competes with the Wii, PS3 or 360 for example), but dream constantly of an open alternative.
